How do you deal with Brit Craft zone thieves?

[Dimok]

There are around 3 of them, 1 of which has alts with a beetle where he's storing all his ill gotten goods. What's the best way to deal with them? Any tricks I'm missing?

Hrmm..how does hiding help? Can you craft while hidden?

Whelp, there are other crafters there spamming "GUARDS" every second which seems to reveal me from hiding. Does that not happen with enough hiding? Im at 77 currently.

someone may be casting reveal or something on you. I haven't had that issue

Nope, no reveal. Moved to several spots and tried it. Every time someone yells "guards" it says you've been revealed.

May be using detect hidden skill.

yea sounds like the guys crafting macro contains a " guards and a detect hidden spam" mark a rune away from this guy and try again

use a trap box or two in your pack and when they open it......boom they fall down

This was the worst weekened for theives i have ever seen. Charlies back and his char ybab somthing been lurking around there 24-7 last few days. Healing his thiefs with alts using macros and whatnot. I keep my ingots in a locked box and they can still be used while in locked box

 

[Lightfoot]

Use a macro that sticks your slayers right into your beetle. Also, craft invis.

I know someone from wrekt, was there one night I was there, I was there from ETC which you can find there cooked parts at out vendor mall. Just need people to police that area. And auto move your slayers.

Hiding isn't working because of reveal.

Trapped pouches don't do enough damage.

Does anyone know if putting something heavy (like a pile of hides) over a bag works to keep its contents secure?

so a trapped box is not good enough ?

I am legendary carpenter and legendary tinker
I have seen some fall to their death after opening up a box I made.

They could just also snoop that bag and grab something that isn't covered by the hides.

Also trapped pouches aren't the way to go. Magic trapped pouch and tinker trapped box are different.
